Jase 43,479 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/azpilicueta-defends-hudson-odoi-over-ajax-showing-hes-going/1fw7ervs7ef6d1jgwgsdtluuh1 After managing just one clean sheet in 12 games before the international break, the Blues have now had two shut-outs in a row and Azpilicueta expressed his frustration at his own form at the start of the season. "I have this passion for defending and not conceding goals," he added. "Obviously at the beginning of the season we were conceding a lot of goals so I was not pleased at all and I was not happy with myself. My job is to keep clean sheets and help the team. "I know I got criticism, which was fair, because I was not at my level. My job is to work hard in training sessions, to work on my game, to keep improving and obviously I am very pleased to keep two clean sheets in a row. I am happy with the three points against a very strong side." Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Strange I don't see any complaints about azpi form anymore. Now he is protected by a winger who defend well suddenly Azpi is no longer a liability.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Lampard on Azpi... https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/players/cesar-azpilicueta-chelsea-reece-james-17235170 Asked how Azpilicueta reacted to being dropped, Lampard said: "He took it as I thought he would, as a perfect professional. It was not a problem. He wants to play, of course he does, but he also understands the quality of Reece and the fact that through the long course of the season, not just for Azpi but for every position, there is a lot of change. "Azpi had played every minute of every game this season, barring the EFL Cup. So I don’t think it was the worst for him to have a rest. We’ve got massive games coming up after the break." 1905didierblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Horrible performance again. In my opinion, he was the worst Defender on the Pitch. Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Sadly he is spent.......has been a great servant though. But he is spent and not much of a leader either. Kova should be the real captain of this team or Rudi when he is back. Vesper, Vybz Kartel, Johnnyeye and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 He has been one of my fav players, up until relatively recently, in a word he has become awful. Once upon a time he was adequate to fill in at LB, now sadly he's even worse than at RB, we've all seen his pathetic attempts at cross's from LB even worse than RB. Sad to say but his time is up, it's not just his crossing ability he's slow, donkey like, and his defending in general is woeful. So sorry dave you've got to go, and Jorginho as captain, or Rudi if he ever plays for us again. Vybz Kartel, Atomiswave and Vesper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovacic or Rudiger would be my pick as captain, Jorginho 3rd, no one else remotely close (Kante is not a captain style person, he is too shy) bigbluewillie and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rüdiger could be Captain and I think he will be the one because he is always shouting to the guys. Jorgi would be the other one shouting at the players.Any of those three would be fine, but this only matters if Azpi gets benched Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Vesper, bigbluewillie and Atomiswave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people just go with the flavor of the month when it comes to picking the captain? I know modern footballers are now different from the previous decade but just listen to what Mourinho said here on 'Captains vs Leaders'. Kovacic most certainly doesn't come close to that.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappacosta!? I'm all for Azpi to be benched but there's only so many players we can sell and buy in the summer. It's certainly not possible to revamp the squad entirely in one transfer window. Sort out the issue at LB and I'm sure Azpi will be 2nd choice to James and be used occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
